                      <p>The Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies is dedicated to the study 
                        of the Canadian Jewish experience. Through research 
                        and education, the Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies supports a wide range of projects 
                        of local, national, and international interest, which 
                        contribute to this growing field of inquiry. The Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies provides a bridge between 
                        the academic study of Canadian Jewry and the community 
                        in which it serves. The Chair, responsible for the academic 
                        study of Canadian Jewry, and the Institute, responsible 
                        for community activities, represent an unprecedented 
                        partnership.</p>
                      <p><strong>Supporting and recognizing Canadian Jewish Studies in the community.</strong><br>
                        The Institute, along with the<strong> </strong>J.I. Segal Cultural Foundation, funds the <em>Prize in Canadian Jewish Studies</em>.&nbsp; This year&rsquo;s prize recipients were Esther Tr&eacute;panier for <em>Jewish Painters of Montreal: Witnesses of their Time 1930-1948</em>, and Allan Levine for <em>Coming of Age: A History of the Jewish People in Montreal</em>.

                          The Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies has a range 
                          of publication programs, for which we have an open call 
                          for submission. These include our series in Canadian 
                          Jewish Studies, co-published with Red Deer Press, for 
                          which we are interested in fiction, non-fiction, popular 
                          history and memoir by Jewish writers. Edited volumes 
                          are also of interest. We publish two chapbook series 
                          under the rubric of Hungry I Books, which focus on creative 
                          and historical writing. In the former case, we consider 
                          short fiction or non-fictional texts; in the latter 
                          case, we aim to bring to light documents or scholarly 
                          work in the area of Canadian Jewish history. Please 
                          see the publications section on this site to gain a 
                          sense of our past work. We prefer submissions via query 
                          letter, and in paper manuscript form rather than in 
                          any kind of electronic form. </p>
